Fashion statement is very important and when it is shown blatantly during a wedding it is even more powerful.
Designers are more adventurous and brides have also demanded that the styles be stretched a little to ensure that they look awesome. It is unlike the olden days when brides would only wear plain and meringue styles for wedding gowns. With a unique and exquisite dress the bride can stand out from other brides. Modern wedding dresses are varied to suit different brides and so it is a spoilt for choice situation.
Color
It is a very important aspect for wedding dresses. Initially white was a standard wedding dress color but things have changed. You can now opt different types of colors for your wedding occasion. Some of the colors that are considered to be unique and adventurous are pink, ivory, brown, deep blue and ivory. Many modern color choices are inspired by vintage palettes. Victorian and red tones are also a good choice and have been around for a very long time. you should go for a Victorian color especially when your wedding theme is royalty. There other trendy color choice is the two tones which have feminine detailing. The bottom line is that you donít have to go for the predominant white dress anymore.
Convertible and combination Dresses
Many people are now opting for second wedding dresses. If you will need to wear your dress at other occasions then you should get a convertible one. It is important to have such a dress because when you wear it, it will always remind you of your big day.. You can also have a detachable one which combines two wedding dresses but will still look elegant. You should therefore, go for detachable veil, trails, jackets, sleeves and layers. The recent trends have made it so easy to rock your ideal wedding outfit without having to worry much about going to the changing room quite often.
Cutout Backs
Keyholes and lace cutouts have also be preferred lately. These wedding outfits have borrowed the cutout backs from the vintage dresses. Sheer panels are a common feature of these dresses which reveal the back of the bride. Many designers consider these wedding dresses sophisticated and sexy. They are a better way to incorporate something extra in your wedding gown.
Affordable Dresses
If you have a wedding coming soon you donít really have to spend so much money on the dress or wedding gown. There are so many dresses that are cheap and will still work best for you on your big day. You can get tea dresses at good prices from online retail centers. With affordable dresses you will not only save so much money but will also not compromise on the quality of the dresses. You will therefore, save more money and spend it on other aspects of your wedding.

It has been acting up and often causes her more problems than it solves, particularly when it screws up half way through a big project she's working on.

So, her birthday is coming up and I know she won't buy one - rather struggle on with the one she has - so I'm thinking about just buying her one... It'll certainly be an improvement on the one she has. I would like your recommendations please on some decent, solid overlocker models which would be a good investment for her and her career. I have seen names mentioned on here - the Baby Lock Imagine 2 (pricey but AMAZING looking) and the Bernina 800 dl (which has a lack of reviews online, and seems similar to her existing one, with no Baby Lock bells and whistles, although undoubtedly a much better quality machine than her current).

Not having a background in sewing it would be invaluable to get some grounding from people 'in the know' - ie, your good selves :)
Thank you very much indeed,

thanks

These soft jersey separates were made by me a few years ago now but I would like to share them with you. No patterns were purchased, they're so expensive! Instead I drew around existing tops and trousers and added width to make harem pants and good 1cm hem.

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:19:22 GMTI am a beginner and have been recommended a pattern to make an A line skirt (McCall's 3341), but I am a bit confused!

The pattern says:

1. Back - Cut 2
2. Front - Cut 1 - place on fold

The bit that I am confused with is which way the fabric should be? At the moment the flowery pattern is on the outside (both sides) or should I fold the other way so the plain sides are on the outside? Sorry does that make sense?

Also, what does NAP mean?

Sorry for all the questions!

Im in the process of setting up a little business personalising baby clothes with accessories. Im going to be selling them on Facebook/etsy...all online for the time being. So with me not doing a stall do i need public liability insurance..or do i need product liability? ive had a look on insurance websites for quotes including the ian wallace one which is recommended alot on this forum but there is a section that asks if its for bespoke clothing and when clicked they then wont quote me. Other quotes have been close to £300 which seems alot more than others, Someone please point me in the right direction im getting so confused.

Thank you

Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16:12:48 GMTHi, i have done loads of internet searching for some answers but don't seem to be getting anywhere. I'm basically looking at setting up a little craft business which will be using bodysuits and t shirts and personalising them (fabric flowers attached). I was gonna try a wholesalers for the bodysuits and tshirts but it seems cheaper and better quality using Tesco/mothercare/matalan. Im wondering whether anyone knows about the legal side of it, whether i'm allowed to use Tesco children's clothes to then personalise and sell? Also is there any other legal things to take into account when selling childrens clothing? Sorry i know these will be silly questions but i am clueless :confused:
